Lawler was in brutal wars in every one of his UFC championship fights leading up to Saturday’s event, taking 2015’s Fight of the Year against Rory MacDonald and already put up another potential Fight of the Year for 2016 in January against Carlos Condit.

Ahead of UFC 201 on Saturday, where Robbie Lawler will look to once again defend his welterweight star against Tyron Woodley, the talk of a potential Georges St-Pierre return to MMA can’t be ignored.

Prior to UFC 196, where Conor McGregor went up to welterweight to fight Nate Diaz, there was talk of McGregor potentially challenging welterweight kingpin Robbie Lawler for the welterweight championship if he defeated Diaz. Diaz ultimately won the fight, despite stepping in on just 2 weeks notice, putting an end to the talk of a McGregor-Lawler fight. During an interview following UFC 196, Lawler was asked about how a fight with McGregor would go. Lawler responded by saying that McGregor was lucky he lost to Diaz because if he fought Lawler, he wouldn’t take McGregor’s neck with a submission like Diaz did, but instead would “take his soul”.
